Woof!

I've caught/received a couple of very cool tributes to dogs on this Veterans' Day. If you get a chance, check out this sweet Pundit Kitchen item, as well as "Veterans Helped by Healing Paws," a heartwarming NYT article.

Both reminded me of Porkchop, a rescue dog profiled in the WSJ for his efforts following the 9/11 collapse of the World Trade Center. The article included a portrait of the blond Australian shephard -- in the Journal's dot matrix-looking style, of course. It's not available via the WSJ's online archives without a subscription, but I found it posted (sans portrait) on the United Kingdom Fire Service Search & Rescue Team's site. A sad story, but also one that reminds us how much good animals can bring to our world.

As Sam would say, "love and licks!"
